Answer:

Explanation:

The slope of a line can not be found between two points with the same x-coordinate, as division by zero is undefined. Hence, the line defined by the points (-2,10) and (-2,-15) is a vertical line and has no slope.

The y-intercept of a line is the point at which the line intersects the y-axis, i.e., the value of y when x=0. A vertical line does not intersect the y-axis, hence it has no y-intercept.

Since the line has no slope or y-intercept, its equation can not be written in the standard form of y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Instead, the equation of the line can be written as x = constant, where constant is the x-coordinate of the points on the line, i.e., x = -2.
